Have You Seen My Childhood (part I)

So young and innocent at 8 or 9 years old. Plucked out of the night helpless and naive in the arms of one I looked to for protection. I fully awaken just in time to see the knife being forced in the molding of the door frame to prevent entrance or escape. I lay there watching, confused and unaware of what lie ahead. The horror begins. I cry, I scream, I beg for it to stop as my face and mouth are covered. It seemed to last hours though probably less then 10 minutes and then it seemed to be over. I can go now, I think to myself please no more I just wanna go. But instead it intensifies. Again I cry, beg and plead upon deaf ears. As I lay in shock, lifeless I ask myself over and over why is this happening to me? Why is there no one here to stop this? How long is this gonna last? Am I going to die? Suddenly everything stops I lay under you shaking almost convulsing. I pull myself together as I am threatened with my life if I tell anyone. The knife slides out and the door opens just enough to check the surroundings. I'm ushered out and head back to the room where I slept previously. No longer young and innocent, no longer looking at you as a hero but now as my definition of fear. I lay there alone, terrified, crying, and thanking God it was all over. Little did I know it was only the beginning.

  3. Thank you Angel. I want this to be something that will inspire. Not only to let their true selves show, but also inspire people to just care about someone other then the person in mirror.
